USFMEP PRESS RELEASE
The USFMEP is pleased to announce that it will be hosting students from the world-renowned Montessori schools for a significant model United Nation event this Saturday April 16th, 2011 in New York City. The event will be held from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at
the General Assembly Hall of the U.N. Headquarters. The acclaimed Montessori schools have been lauded around the globe for their unique and exceptional approach to education. The USFMEP will be receiving outstanding middle and high schools from these schools to educate them on the United Nations system and procedures in order to expose them to a system which they may one day partake in. This event will gather 1,600 people from countries all around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Norway, China, Japan and more.
The USFMEP is especially anticipating this important event because it captures the very essence of our organization: education as a means of promoting peace and harmony. President Sally Kader remarked, “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows; we believe that we should educate the youth because they are our future leaders and our hope for a peaceful world. “It is imperative to teach them about The United Nation system and mission” The Federation aims to mobilize ordinary members of societies, particularly the women and youth of all regions of the world, to contribute to the establishment of a lasting peace in the world. The next generation of world leaders, our youth, are essential tools that can be used for effective peace efforts. This prominent event will be a step towards reaching an educated society where peace and harmony prevail to find solutions to international dilemmas. “I am very excited to be hosting this big event and I am sure it will be a great experience for all of us”, Mrs. Sally Kader said.
